If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 48dc5fb3ba53b20418de8514700f63d88c5de3a3 upstream. The driver reads a value from hfa384x_from_bap(), which may fail, and then assigns the value to a local variable. gcc detects that in in the failure case, the 'rlen' variable now contains uninitialized data: In file included from ../drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_pci.c:220:0: drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_hw.c: In function 'hfa384x_get_rid': drivers/net/wireless/intersil/hostap/hostap_hw.c:842:5: warning: 'rec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] if (le16_to_cpu(rec.len) == 0) { This restructures the function as suggested by Russell King, to make it more readable and get more reliable error handling, by handling each failure mode using a goto.
